No they can't fire you, but you must keep making your doctor's appointments and be sure your doctor writes a note you can leave at the office where you work. If you can't do your job(for example: A back injury) then it's up to the company to find you a job in their company that you can handle.
I suggest you phone the Labor Relations Board and ask them a few questions so you are sure you are on the right track.

In Georgia Workers' Compensation insurance falls under the Workers' Compensation Act which defines the responsibility of the employer to provide prompt medical and disability benefits for injuries sustained on the job by workers. This is insurance that the employer, certain employers, are required to have. This insurance covers the employees who have injuries that result in partial or total incapacity or death. In return, the employer is shielded from tort liability for these injuries. In other words, an employee should receive income and medical benefits and the employer generally can't be sued for the injury. If you have been injured, contact your LOCAL Workers' Compensation Attorney.
